shocked - Story 132585 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was driving home after a particularly grueling rehearsal. Mark flipped the radio station, and that's when it happened. The song. His song. He knew it. The arrangement, the chords, the lyrics. It was his song, but sung by someone with a voice he didn't recognize.

His grip tightened on the steering wheel. The world seemed to shrink around him, the road blurring into a grey smear. He pulled over to the side of the road, the car’s engine sputtering, forgotten.

He just sat there, listening, a cold sweat breaking out on his brow. The radio continued to play the song. How? Who? It didn't make any sense.
